The real danger that confronts Bangalore
by Hemanth on Oct 24, 2005 01:24 PM

A city of over 6 million... and a small minority (viz. IT/BT bigwigs) trying to call the shots, The 'Neo-Brahminism' being perpetrated by the likes of Narayana Murthy of Infy, is a recipie for widening the wedge btwn people. And then there is this attitude of the immigrants, particularly the notrh indians towards the 'local' types. Bangalore is a bourgeoning economy not solely due to IT/BT. In fact its not even the third highest contributor to the states economy. The garments industry is the largest employer of the city why doesnt anybody talk bout raising their standard of living but raise such a hue and cry about techies stuck in traffic jams? why dont they take public transport??? If the garment girls whose work shifts are much ore stringent, can make do with the public ransport cant the techies do the same? When the majority of the city (96% roughly) is made to serve the interest of the minority, When the immigrant minority is insensitive to the local languag and culture, Disintegration is imminent.Bangalore is not Mr. Dave Gowda but the Narayana Murthy types!
